BEARING.

To all whom it may concern:

lle it known that l, Joux l). Jones, a citizen et the United States, residing at Walla ld'alla, in the county of Walla laila and plate of Washington, have invented a new .and usclnl Bearing, otwhich the following is a sperilicat'ion. n

'l`he present. invention relates to improvements 1n hearings, the primary object ot the invention being theprovision of a practicallv'dust' proof lubricant carrying casing, adapted to be driven Within a pulley where used upon shaiting, the saine being preferably," made in a single casting to provide tu'o oppositely disposed lubricant retaining casings or chambers with a concentrically disposed bearing sleeve.

it l'urlher object of the present .invention is tluA provision of a bearing made in the 'lorni ol' a cylindrical casing, the ends of which are provided with shaft receiving apertures, one end being further provided with a rim `which limits the introduction of the casing within a hub, while formed integral u'ithin the casing and suspended centrally ot its longitudinal length and concentrically with relation Vto the cross section thereof, is the main bearing sleeve vof the bearing, whose free ends project in opposite directions nto Juiptisiteiy disposed lubricant contaii'iing coi'npartinents.

With the foregoing and other objects in vieu' which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details oi'` construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understoodV that changes Ain the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope ol what is claimed without departing lroin the spirit of the invention.

in the d 'aivings--Figure 1 is a longitudinally sectional view through the ,bearing mounted upon the shaft. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2v-2 et Fig. l.

teferring to the drawings,itl1e numeral l designates a sliafting, which may either rotate or be stationary while 2 designates the cylindrical casing of the bearing, which insertible in the hub of any forni ot pulley, or support or hanger, thepulley being used when the shaft is stationary While the support or hanger 1s used when the shaft rotates. ln the present Distance the casing '2 is shown inserted in one end of a supporting member 'l and rotates therewith, a set Specification of Letters Patent.

screw S, retaining the casing against longitudinal and circumferential movements relatively to the member' T.

The casing 2 1s preferably cast and 1s provided atl one end with the peripheral rim p 3 which acts as ay limiting means for the 1n- 7 b sertion of the casing 2, while the closed ends of the casing are provided wlth the oppo- 4sitely disposed shaft receiving apertures 4 and 5. l

Carried within the casing is a central web 6 provided Witha plurality of apertures' 7, when desired, and carrying the main bearing sleeve 8, whose reduced ends project in opposite directions into the respective lubricant carrying chambers or coin} artments 9 and 10, providing a space between the ends thereof and the respective ends of the casing 2 where portions o't the shaft l are placed in direct contact withithe packing il` disposed Within the chan'ibers t.) and l() and carrying the lubricant.

From the foregoingdescription taken in connection with the drawings, it is e-vident that a beating constructed according to the present invention provides a plurality of bearing points, that is in the respective ends ot' the easing 2 and-in the bearing sleeve 8, said bearing sleeve. 8 heilig the main bearing and disposed in such position within the casing as to be protected by the lubricant carrying pacxing so that dust and dirt is excluded and prevented from aii'ecting the bearing sleeve 8, as any dust or dirt entering through the opeiiings 4 and?) will bc retained within the lubricant carrying packing and be prevented thereby from affecting the shalting at its contact point with the sleeve 8.

By reason of the web the main bearing sleeve S-is at all times rigidlyheld within the c: sing, and asthe shaft receiving apertures 4.- and 5 are bored simultaneously with the sleeve 8, the, bearing surfaces in theends of the casing and in the sleeve S are absolutely centered and remain in such condition during the ruiming of the.

'withV supporting member, ofa bearing having a cylindrical casing provided with oppositely disposed shaft receiving apertures, said casing being carried by the supporting member, and a coneentrically disposed main bearing sleeve Within and surrounded by thecasing and providing two lubricant containing chambers.

The combination with a supporting member, ot a bearing having a cylindrical casing, the ends of which are provided with shaft receiving apertures, said casing being carried by the supporting member, a centraliy -disposed annular web formed integral with the wall of the casing and dividing the casing into oppositely disposed lubricant containing chambers, and a main bearing sleeve formed integral with and carried by the web and disposed to have its ends project within said chambers and spaced from the ends of the casing.

4. The combination with a supporting member, of a bearing having a cylindrical casing provided with oppositely disposed -shawft receiving apertures, said casing being carried by the supporting member, a concentrically disposed main bearing sleeve Within and surrounded by the casing and providing two communicating lubricant con-.

taining chambers, and a packing interposed between each end of the sleeve and the adjacent end of the casina.

5. A bearing box having a cylindrical casing provided wit-h oppositely disposed shaft receiving` apertures and having a concen-` trically disposed main bearing sleeve within and surrounded by the casing, said' casing having a web connecting said bearing sleeve and providing two lubricant containing chambers, and a packing interposed between each end of the sleeve and the adjacent end of the casing.

(3. An insertible bearing box comprising a casing provided with stationary end pieces, said easing inelosing two lubricant receiving chambers, and a bearing sleeve secnred in said casing having its ends spaced inwardly from said end pieces.

7. An insertible bearing box comprising a casing provided with stationary end pieces, said casing inclosing two lubricant receiving chambers, a bearing sleeve secured in said casing and having its ends spaced inwardly from said end pieces, and paclrings arranged in said casing between the end pieces and the ends of the said bearing sleeve.

8. A bearing comprising a. casing with stationary end pieces, a bearing sleeve secured in said casing with ends spaced inwardly from said end pieces, and packings in said casing between the end pieces oi the casing and the ends of/the bearing sleeve, all ar ranged to provvide lubricant chambers between said packings. l

9. A bearing box comprising a casing with stationary end pieces /nnd a bearing` sleeve between said end pieces, the ends o said bearing sleeve being spaced inwardly from said end pieces, said bearing sleeve and end pieces having shaft openings arranged in axial alinement.

10. A bearing box consisting of a casing with integral end pieces, a bearing sleeve ar anged in said casing between said end pieces, and with its ends spaced inwardly therefrom, said bearing sleeve and said end pieces being provided'with shaft openings in axial alinement with each other to provide three bearing surfaces, and parkings in said casing betweenthe end pieces and the ends of the bearing sleeve. all arranged to provide Huid lubricant chambers between said packings.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto allixcd my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
